Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Face down on the gravel Cold taste of iron in my teeth Sirens singing in a spiral Red on the windshield, red on the street Shards of my day on the dashboard Phone still buzzing in the dark Your name frozen on the glass there I almost left you with that mark [Chorus] When my eyes flashed before my life I saw everything I kept on wasting Every call I never made Every word I left there breaking I was hanging by a single breath On the edge of my own fallout When my eyes flashed before my life I saw all I couldn’t live without [Verse 2] Nurse says I’m lucky Like it’s some kind of joke But I smelled gasoline and pity As the ambulance rolled slow Dad standing in the hallway Hands shaking, trying not to cry I almost turned him to a story He’d tell about the night I died [Chorus] When my eyes flashed before my life I saw everything I kept on wasting Every call I never made Every word I left there breaking I was hanging by a single breath On the edge of my own fallout When my eyes flashed before my life I saw all I couldn’t live without [Bridge] I don’t want a stone with my name I don’t want you choking on blame I don’t want the flowers, the frame I want one more day, one more day (one more day) [Chorus] When my eyes flashed before my life I swore I’d never leave you guessing Every second that I get Is a second I’ll treat like a blessing I was hanging by a single breath Now I’m crawling from the blackout When my eyes flashed before my life I saw all I couldn’t live All I couldn’t live without (yeah)

metal, Modern metalcore with drop-tuned guitars, double-kick bursts, and screamed male vocals on the verses; chorus opens with wide, melodic hooks and stacked harmonies. Tension builds through syncopated chugs and pinch harmonics; bridge dives into a half-time breakdown with dissonant leads, then snaps back for a final, soaring chorus ad-lib.
